You watch the interactive ad and you still have to watch 20 minutes in other ads. History channel has enough money, just show the program. Now I won’t watch your channel or app.

I have always been fascinated with how we got to this point in human history and what’s possible for the future. HISTORY gives it all to me. I love the convenience of being able to watch my favorite series anywhere and anytime. Thank you for feeding my fascination.
